Question 1 of 5
Mr. Carter has been recently started on an antibiotic, and has developed a rash and pruritis. You suspect an allergic reaction and immediately assess him for other more serious symptoms. What question would be most important to ask Mr. Carter?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: "Are you having any difficulty breathing?" This is the most important question to ask Mr. Carter because difficulty breathing could indicate a severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis, which can be life-threatening. It is crucial to quickly identify and address this symptom to prevent further complications.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they are not directly related to a severe allergic reaction. Blood in the stool (
B) may indicate gastrointestinal issues, difficulty with hearing (
C) could suggest an ear-related problem, and a headache (
D) could be a common side effect of various conditions but is not typically associated with anaphylaxis. It is essential to focus on the symptom that poses the most immediate danger to the patient's health, which in this case is difficulty breathing.
